i walked around dalaran last night for about 2 hours just checking out every store and everything. the amount of detail blizz put into dalaran is just unbelievable!! they really outdid themselves. it makes shatt look like a city dump ;P try and get there as quick as you can so you can really spend some time just checking everything out.

(something i thought was very cool)

take the portal in dal up to the purple parlor, its awesome. all it is, is a huge room with a balcony over looking the entire city, with a butler walking around serving wine and food :)

So far so good with the expansion.

I've decided to just level as Holy on my Paladin (that will be my first level 80). I don't do near as much dps as the other classes, but with judgement and seal of Wisdom I never lose any mana and take on a fair bit of mobs with no risk of dying :p.

Also, everyone is always in need of a healer for instances. More in demand than dps. I did Nexus last night and it was incredible. Holy healer tactics have changed so much. Holy Shock seems to be my most used healing spell now. I'm still undecided if I like the Glyph of Flash of Light... I wish the HoT effect was optional somehow. With the increased haste from casting Judgement of Light, Holy Shock is usually ready to be cast. There is just a lot to it than the spam flash of light strategy from BC.

I just got the game! What class is good for solo and group PvP and mild PVE?

Warlock.. or Hunter.

Let it be known.

I ****ing LOVE my DK.

I am seriously madly in love with the way how he plays.

I just wish I could have another one so I could have one on the Alliance side as well. :(

only played DK for a bit but getting my ret pally to 80 slowly. im a casual gamer and not a crazy gamers like some of "get a life" people out there. and cant believe alot of people actually skipped school or work just to play wow... just.. WOW. very sad.

I think tomorrow I'm going to work my keister off on fishing.

I haven't done it in a while, and it sounds like a good time waster.

By the way, if anyone cares..

Here's my new, and final .. toon.

My DK.

MMO Champion has a write up about it. TwentyFifthNovember has gotten world first kills of Kel'thuzad, Sartharion, and Malygos less than 3 days after the release of the expansion.

Ha! Well, either Blizzard waaayyy undertuned everything, or these guys were just that good. Not much for them to do now except farm those raids until patch 3.1 and the Ulduar raid.

Myself, I'm just now installing the thing. I'm not worried about rushing it. Kinda pointless if you don't get the "world first" bragging rights, IMO.

Oh I believe they are good but still, does smell a lot like a more casual minded raid-content in my opinion. Blizzard seem to be blending the hardcore raiders and casual raiders more and more. Damn I miss the old days where there were 2 groups - Epic geared and blue geared. Those who had the skill, will and time to raid and those who didn't. Now everyone are running around in epics and you know in just a few months they will release welfare PvP epics and then we have two new groups - PvP epics and PvE epics.

Bit boring really, I want the old days back ( Vanilla WoW ) :/

Damn I miss the old days where there were 2 groups - Epic geared and blue geared. Those who had the skill, will and time to raid and those who didn't.

Most people in the blue category had both the skill and the will just not the time. PvE isn't difficult. It's time consuming.

I'm glad those days are gone.

(oh and before your obvious rebuttal, I had three server firsts in vanilla WoW and one in TBC ;))

A copy of WAR and any class you like in WoW :p

WoWs PvP is... dire at best and the game forces you to choose either PvE or PvP. That or have massive pockets to afford the constant respecs so you can raid.

My idea of 'skill' is not ?ber button masher, just common knowledge:)) And all 3 need to be there, so that holds true.

For the worlds first and whatnot, have no idea what that has to do with mine or your opinion, doesn't change anything:))

You could drag absolutely terrible people through BWL and most of AQ40/early Naxx without any ill effects

It wasn't until you started running into Twins or Patchwerk that the room for error was tight enough to screw you.

For what it's worth, I was one of the "Haves" in the old days and I didn't like it. PVP was a lame: if you've got Necroknights garb and an acolyte staff then you win. That wasn't skill. Today it's slightly better but the divide between PVP and PVE gear is unfortunate. The overpoweredness of certain items (ie: 4/4+glaive rogues) also taints arena.

Ha! Well, either Blizzard waaayyy undertuned everything, or these guys were just that good.

Tier 7 is easy. It has to be easy, if they made it so that the two best horde guilds spent more than a few hours clearing it then there's no way the typical "kara-guild" would have a chance in hell at clearing it.

Guilds that were clearing sunwell will stomp all over Tier 7 content.

By the end of beta you could pug any raid you liked and expect to kill a boss in less than 5 pulls.

Gear progression from 70 -> 80 followed roughly the same curve as 60->70. You'll start replacing your Sunwell gear around level 78 but if you're willing to regem and enchant then the difference in power is marginal at best (when you factor in set bonuses). Re-gearing isn't mandatory in order to start raiding, however many people will find the instance exceptionally difficult without the margin for error that the stats on level 80 blues provide.

If all you had to do was level and then clear an instance you've done to death on beta: 3 days is plenty of time. My guild's planning to hit 25-man naxx on Friday?I won't be surprised if we cleared it by monday because most of us did it at 60 and a few of us have done it on beta. Roughly half the people are sunwell geared, the other half are re-rolls so we may need a bit of farming time to get everyone into appropriate kit.

Hey guys, I just started playing again after a really long hiatus!

Started last night lvl 7 Blood Elf Paladin :rofl:

I'm on Grizzly Hills if anyone wants to come join me! :woot:

    • But the reality is it will work for people's needs, and they don't care about the technology that makes it. Clearly not everyone's needs, but that low end space where personal laptops were only used to type emails, watch content and browse websites, but they didn't want to do that on a small screen device. Heck, writing that out I can now see the connection and reason it'll do so well. Apple is about experience. If the experience is bad, they don't release it. Low end Windows laptop manufacturers up until this point have not taken that into consideration ever before, so slow laggy usage with brittle slimey plastic shells were common. I hope that the low end space at least creates better physical products that last a bit longer, and if Microsoft get their act together, they could also have a solid OS on such low end hardware that would actually make the experience work for what the hardware was intended for. The fact that the CPU is a "cellphone", sorry mobile phone processor is irrelevant. It's about the experience, and so far, that sounds quite solid.
    • Hello, Bonjour is Apple's implementation of a multicast-DNS service, which allows devices running Apple's software and/or hardware to find each other on your local network.  I believe the Windows version was last updated around 2010. If you do not need it, you can stop and disable the Bonjour service in the Services Control Manager (filename: SERVICES.MSC).  Once you have done that, the operating system will no longer attempt to load the service.

    • This AMD RX 9070 16GB GPU that performs close to Nvidia 5070 is under $600 by Sayan Sen With the memory shortage that's prevalent nowadays, discounts are super-hard to get. As such we post good deals whenever they pop up. Recently, we covered a few great discounts on SSDs wherein you can get a 4TB TeamGroup NVMe PCIe Gen4 drive for just $400 thanks to a special coupon. If you want a faster product but don't need all that capacity, you can also opt for Samsung's 990 PRO 2TB that is on sale for its lowest price in over three months. Let's say though that you are on the hunt for a 1440p gaming card. In that case AMD's RX 9070 non-XT can help, and with its 16GB VRAM, you can also run AI models locally without worrying about bottlenecking (check out our recent 9070 GRE reviews for gaming and productivity to get an idea). The PowerColor Reaper variant of the RX 9070 is currently on sale for just $580 which is a very good price in the current state of affairs (purchase link under the specs table down below). The Reaper cooler on this 9070 uses a triple‑fan design with ring‑blade fans, paired with premium dual ball bearings to extend lifespan and reduce friction. "Intelligent" fan control allows the fans to remain idle at lower temperatures, only spinning up when the GPU is under load. A nickel‑plated copper base makes direct contact with both the GPU and memory modules, helping to spread heat evenly. PowerColor also applies Honeywell PTM7950 phase‑change thermal interface material (TIM), which fills microscopic gaps between the die and heatsink for more efficient thermal transfer. The fan shroud is shorter in height as the firm has made it such that it can be used in certain SFF (small form factor) cases. The technical specifications of the Reaper RX 9070 are given in the table below: Specification Value Stream Processors 3584 Units Video Memory 16GB GDDR6 Memory Speed 20.0 Gbps Memory Interface 256-bit Engine Clock Game Clock: up to 2070 MHz Boost Clock: up to 2520 MHz Bus Standard PCI Express 5.0 x16 Display Connectors 1 x HDMI 2.1b, 3 x DisplayPort 2.1a Maximum Resolution DisplayPort: 7680 × 4320 HDMI: 7680 × 4320 Board Dimensions 289mm × 111mm × 41mm 304mm × 127mm × 42mm (with bracket) Slot 2 Minimum System Power Requirement 600W Power Connectors Two 8-pin PCI Express Get the PowerColor Reaper RX 9070 at the links below (you get only a 90-day warranty on Woot): PowerColor Reaper Radeon RX 9070 16GB Graphics Card (RX9070 16G-A): $579.99 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US) (Was: $700) PowerColor Reaper Radeon RX 9070 16GB Graphics Card (RX9070 16G-A): $559.99 (Sold and Shipped by Woot US) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.
